This isn't particularly easy to install, especially when you don't
have MiNTOS/K[EG]MD installed. Something like Infitra, MyMail or aMail
would be better, as they're all GEM-apps and more suited for newbies.
A pity neither of them is finished though ;-)

Vcons use less memory, but is a pig to install w/o MiNTOS. It's easier
to use TosWin/TosWin2.

Btw. have you consider using a GEM-based installer (e.g. Winstall) for
this?
